An urgent message from the National Prostate Cancer Coalition:

HELP STOP CUTS TO PROSTATE CANCER RESEARCH IN THE FY2007 BUDGET!

The President has proposed serious cuts to funding for cancer research
at the National Institute of Health and the Center for Disease Control
and Prevention. In order to stop these cuts from taking effect,
Senators Feinstein and Mikulski have offered an amendment to the FY07
Budget Resolution which would increase money to these federal programs
by offsetting corporate tax loopholes. Senators will be voting on this
amendment today or tomorrow.

How you can help:

Call your Senator today and ask them to vote for the
Feinstein-Mikulski Amendment to the FY07 Budget Resolution. Call the
Senate Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and aske to be connected to your
Senator. If you don’t know who your Senators are, name the state
in which you live and you will be connected!

* Once connected to the office, ask to be connected to the
legislative assistant that handles health care.
* Share with them your personal story with cancer and share why
these programs are important to you, their constituent or simply
say:

- I am asking you to support the Feinstein-Mikulski and Specter-Harkin
Senate budget amendments for increased funding for health programs and
any other amendments that will give more money to Cancer research and
programs.

- Now is not the time to turn our back on Cancer research and
programs, when we’ve made so much progress in fighting this disease in
recent years.

Thank you very much for helping us in the fight against cancer.
